There are many other developers who actually refuse to be a part of xda due to this reason, I have considered quiting many times in the past, I dont do what I do for any type of personal again.

@metalk9 and coutts if you think this thread has a ****ty attitude dont read it, simple, I think this thread gets filled with ****, check how many posts over the 2 months I have actually made on xda and you will see its few and far between and this is the reason.

A couple of examples of posts that are a waste of time replying to,

Why no FM Radio / How do I install FM Radio?

I already answered this, check my messages, not hard to run a search, and I have seen it multiple times.

Another example

Why no A2SD on this ROM?

Somebody was actually trying to activate A2SD in the way that MIUI uses it... all ROMs operate differently and A2SD support is automatic and listed in post #1 as being included.

Posts like that make the whole ROM and thread look bad and it confuses other people and I'm happy to see mods clamping down on it, its ashame we can not moderate our own threads because I would be quite happy to answer the more legitimate questions and delete the complete and utter rubbish ones myself.

AdamG thanks for great work, oxygen 2.0 is awesome. I have one question that may be marked by you as stupid and offtopic, but...: Is it safe to flash the echo fix from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11710593&postcount=219? These files are from RC7 which was 2.3.2. Are they fully compatibile with new release or it's just a temporary solution and it's better to wait for fix from you? Thanks in advance

My phone started lagging a lot with that 2.35.11 kernel, thalamus.

Lag was noticeable opening regular apps, and when playing HexDefense there was a frequent hiccup, like every 30 seconds or so.. rebooted, killed all tasks, etc, didnt fix it. It was like a lag spike from time to time, and always a delay opening every app.

I even installed set cpu to see what governor and clock frequency were set...

Reverted to the default 2.37.1 kernel and all is fine again.

Just giving a heads up, in case someone runs into the same problem.

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] Raphyo:
Like Thalalus last post :

He fixed, OJ and light sensor driver.

But yeah, things get lost :(

And the only way to find his post is to read the entire tread...
[Desire Android Development] :
I didn't notice anything that dramatic, except for a bit of lagginess straight after boot, but that appeared fairly atypical of a .35 CFS kernel, which weren't really the best.

However, I have made a few changes and there is an r3 release in my dropbox which appears to be smoother.

Also, there is a BFS 2.6.35.11 kernel in there too, which is much smoother and more responsive than the CFS one.
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Aha, i knew that something was different. I also had issues with data restoring (posted about it here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=972694) and couldn't understand why the actual data gets properly copied to /data/data but isn't shown in the app. Settings for the app were restored correctly, so it seems where the data was in the sqlite db, there were problems. Thank you for finding this !
[Desire Android Development] flakz0r:
Nah i ran it for around 2 hours, so that wasn't it..

Thanks, will try that BFS and report back.

What goes through the mind of the average HTC Desire user?

Seriously though. Having a discussion about the merits of buying an iPad or a Kindle on a ROM DEVELOPMENT thread?

I'm done with trying to simply delete the huge amount of sheer stupidity. As of now, if you post a question that has clearly been answered, or you are so far off-topic that it makes a mockery of our rules, you will receive an infraction.

For those of you who do not like how this thread is being handled, I'd like you to PM me with your suggestions. I have deleted at least 600 off-topic/already answered posts.

Choose to ignore this, and you leave yourself open to an unwanted break from the forum.
[Desire Android Development] flakz0r:
BFS kernel 2.35 feels snappy so far, no sign of lag :)

Thanks thalamus!
[Desire Android Development] 3tybagig:
Hi Adam. Loving my Oxygen 2. Thank you.

Sorry to ask this here. I tried in the QA forum but got nothing back.

2 Quick questions.

1.) If I move a couple apps to /System will they update as normal?

2.) Having changed a few things around in /system I now have 2.93MB free space in /system. Is that enough overhead? I am unsure if /system needs any free space overhead.

Thank you

Ty
[Desire Android Development] Blais:
I am using the r3 release and lagginess is gone. I have not tried BFS yet.

[Desire Android Development] boomam:
Out of curiosity, what phone are you going to replace your Desire with Adam?

As it looks at the moment like the 'hackable' choice out of all the new gen phones is the Galaxy S 2....the new HTCs and the Motorolas have locked bootloaders. :(
[Desire Android Development] hib1000:
My statusbar widgets are;

WiFi

Bluetooth

GPS

2G/3G

Data

Sound (Sound & Vibrate/Vibrate/Off)

Pleeeeaaaase don't get rid of this, i'd hate to have to clutter my homescreen with these
[Desire Android Development] vr5411:
Storing app list and wifi settings at google, then restoring it when changing rom.

Should work better.

That's how android market see your phone. Up to this update was GRI40 (Android 2.3.3) and now is GRJ22 (Android 2.3.4).
[Desire Android Development] vr5411:
@Adam:

I use the following statusbar widgets on a daily basis:

Toggle Sound (Sound+Vibrate/Vibrate), Toggle Brightness, Toggle GPS, Toggle Mobiledata, Toggle Wifi
[Desire Android Development] sarfaraaz:
Same setup on my side with the exception inn Sound+Vibrate/Vibrate only/No sound
[Desire Android Development] dneill2006:
Thanks these seem perfect :)

Will you be keeping the Light Sensor Filter settings are should we just turn it off?
[Desire Android Development] gautam.malik:
Mod for all extended features.

Hi Adam,

For me, status bar widget is extremely important.

If not present, I would have to use extended control widget on desktop. I want to keep other useful widgets on screen instead of this. One more advantage of having status bar widget is that you can access it from any screen.

If you are thinking of removing status bar widget, can you please create a flashable mod so that users like I can flash it if we want.

We already have such a flashable mod for trackball wake.

Same holds good for automatic brightness settings as well - A flashable mod to enable automatic brightness controls.

This way Oxygen can be kept clean as dev null is, and users can still flash these mods to enable extended features.
[Desire Android Development] hib1000:
I dont really understand how to input these settings... what does "Buttons on" mean? How do i set that?

Can you screenshot what you configured please (sorry i get the feeling I'm being a bit numb)
[Desire Android Development] Minux31:
@AdamG

My status bar widgets :

- Wifi On / Off

- Sound + Vib / Vib / Silent

- Sync On / Off

- Mobile Data On / Off

- Orientation On / Off

- Airplane Mode On / Off

Thx again for your excelent work on this rom :)
[Desire Android Development] quail:
@AdamG

Thanks theses setting are a lot better IMHO, keep up the great work :-)
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
BUTTONS means that the backlight of the hardware buttons is turned on.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
+1

But I don't need a fully customized power control widget. It would be sufficient to have a small button-widget to switch between 2g only and 3g only :D
[Desire Android Development] kharekatoh:
For me the one that works well is

0 - 40 - 1

50 - 120 - 0

300 - 150 - -1 (I'll come to that in a sec)

600 - 175 - 0

1200 - 200 - 0

2500 - 210 - 0

5700 - 235 - 0

10000 - 255 - 0

On the 300 - 150, the button won't edit to 0. It's just perm on -1 (not greyed over, just won't open the edit screen).

I find that the filter doesn't read very well either. I'm in a sunny room but if I lean over the phone the sensor reads 10 and it dims the screen as if I was in a dark room.

With regards to the power widget, I have wireless - GPS - BT - flashlight - 2G/3G and screen orientation.

ROM is running great. Very smooth, decent battery life and it suits my needs perfectly. I've yet to try any other ROM since rooting my phone but to be honest I don't think I find the need to try others. Great work AdamG & Co.
[Desire Android Development] do3in:
I flashed new radio 5.17.05.23.

Everything seems ok now. I hope to work fine.
[Desire Android Development] hib1000:
but its an option of 0-250 - how can it be "on" or "off"?
[Desire Android Development] xaps:
I can also report that these settings are working very nice. The default values from the framework-res.apk you posted earlier were too dark, the new values seem great. Haven't tested it outdoors in a very bright environment yet though.

Regarding the status bar power widget: Please keep it! It's a great feature, many people love it, it really can save time, it's got great customizability, I don't see any reason to remove it or change the functionality of it despite your 'keep it stock' thing. But that's what DevNull is there for, right? ;) Keep Oxygen as amazing as it is with all its useful features.

Removing the wallpaper and boot anim isn't bad, it saves space and people can change it themselves easily if they want to.

Try it, any other than '0' just turns the button LEDs on, the value doesn't matter.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
As for status bar power widget, I never said I was getting rid of it, said I was going to do a rewrite, I will bring back the customizable desktop widget as well in the future.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
I really fancy getting a Nexus-S but everyone seems to want a dual core.

I don't fancy having a locked bootloader and waiting months to get proprietary updates when a new Android itteration arrives, Google have been extremely quick to update the NXS and release the new proprietary binaries and libs at the same time they release new Android updates.

In terms of spec, I believe the NXS is good value for money seeing as it can be picked up on eBay for <£250.

A new developer phone will probably come in ~6-9months if Android is going to be defined by it's past.

Just because a phone may get CM support, it doesn't make it good to work on, a lot of the newer phones need a lot of hacks to the Android framework to get them working, where as Google phones work straight off pretty much.

I can tell you we have 0 hacks to the Android framework for Oxygen except 1 for FM Radio because it isn't supported natively.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
GTalk was updated, and to be honest it's not worth even having the new one, I think a vote should be done on whether or not to keep it, the new GTalk has been the root of all the space problems for Oxygen HBOOT users.

Try removing its folder in /data/data/
[Desire Android Development] dneill2006:
Will you be keeping the Light Sensor Filter settings are should we just turn it off?

Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] lnxtux:
Not true. There IS a bug affecting GPS functionality somewhere deep inside Gingerbread AOSP code. Talk to Nexus One owners (or just google around), they have been running 2.3.x for quite some time and many of them experience the same issue. However, it's NOT Oxygen bug. And it might be a bit better with the recent 2.3.4.

Recent CM7 builds claim to have it fixed, but haven't seen a solid report showing the exact code fix.
[Desire Android Development] jungoed:
anyone got a car mode.apk working for oxygen ?
[Desire Android Development] tommo123:
what is the bug? i've used oxygen for the most part for a while now and the only probs i've had is after 1st flash. 1st time i use gps takes a loooong time to get a lock. after that, fine.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
root explorer can help

push it to /system/app with adb

do not use adb install

I don't have this problem with other roms and already reflashed....

Is there anyone with the same issue??
[Desire Android Development] jungoed:
did it with one i found but it doesnt start , if you got one working please send it here :)
[Desire Android Development] Tarothsword:
I think these settings are a little bright for a dark room and lower settings save battery on my AMOLED desire but everybody will have their own opinions and not everyone has AMOLED I suppose.

I don't see the point of the 160 setting though as my sensor jumps from 10 to 225 so with these settings it will jump from brightness 35 to 72. Do other people's sensors ever return a value of 160?
[Desire Android Development] deniros:
Sorry I haven't got time to check the thread but I'm in the middle of work.

I can't change wallpaper, is there a fix?
[Desire Android Development] Tarothsword:
Remove the entire folder com.google.android.talk
[Desire Android Development] wej1976:
because an led can only be on or off. not a little bit on or a little bit off. and I presume the led behind the buttons isn't a whole bank of leds that could be turned on or off alternatively to achieve the dimming effect.

hence

0 = off

1 or 1+ = on

Excellent rom btw. Have never used any other rom as this one has always been flawless for me. With the one issue I've had been solved promptly by Thalamus via PM
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
No fix needed, works perfectly here (Oxygen 2.1.1)
[Desire Android Development] Gerald.W:
Has anyone else had problems logging into their Google account after flashing 2.1.2?

I've never had this problem before but even after a full wipe and a couple of reboots I was not able to log into my google account. Kept saying the password was wrong.

Could it have something to do with google authenticator? I recently got it, and trying to log into my account without authenticator on the phone?

BUT the catch22 is, I can't download authenticator without logging into my account.

I restored my backup from 2.0.3 so it is all good... but just a bit frustrating I can't use the latest version because of this.

Cheers

Gerald
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
So the intermittent GPS issue is, as _thalamus said, a GB upstream issue which should have been fixed in GRJ22 but it does not seem like it has.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=4e60b45c18d6665c

Back to Froyo for me :D

Edit: After more searching, there is a temporary workaround \o/

Run Maps,

Tap Home,

Run GPS Status,

Long hold Home...

Select Maps again.
[Desire Android Development] Mixy:
I would peg this on the authenticator.. having no troubles at all with my Google account. Try temporarily removing the authenticator until you can get newest version up and running :)
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
No, but if you have issues when upgrading, it's suggested to wipe.
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:

[Desire Android Development] jale:
I like to have english text on the phone, not norwegian as other norwegians :)

But with english, the number format for phone number are all dashed up, like 004-741-471463, but i would like to have without dashes. Is it possible to change nomber format easily? So i can still have english text, but norwegian number format on phone numbers?
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
I vote for keeping it. It is the most important new feature in 2.3.4 (or is it the only new feature?). Many users like Gtalk voice/video chat more than Skype. Me for example. :-)

Secondly, it wouldn't be stock ROM if you remove such a great stock feature. ;)
[Desire Android Development] mongo56:
Anyone else not able to call a few contacts via gtalk?

I can call them via pc (gtalk windows client) but there's just no icon on the phone.

I can't see any obvious differences between those who have the option and those who don't.
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
-1 for me instead, if really cared about video chat i would have picked a sgs, probably it's not really a stock app for our device, cause we lack a front camera anyway.

As to radio it can go to hell for all i care, i've never used it once, i just keep it there to make my iOS friends feel lame :D
[Desire Android Development] kecinzer:
I know, that this is a google problem, but AdamG wrote about it on Twitter. Any progress with Call Delay Issue?

That is one last think that blocks me switch to 2.3.x.
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
Why do you think that Desire doesn't support Gtalk voice chat? Because voice chat is the only feature of Gtalk that I use. I have mentioned video chat just because it is part of the updated gtalk.
[Desire Android Development] zoltar99:
Battery life

Since loading Oxygen 2.1, my phone has beaten all previous records on battery life. On Froyo the battery life was 2 day maximum (36 hours, two days and one night). On other Gingerbread ROMs, my battery life has gone up to 60 hours with light use (phone and internet). But with Oxygen 2.1 (I have not yet updated to 2.1.2), it has gone up to 4 days (96 hours). I never turn the phone off at night, the internet is connected all the time, a few minutes of calls a day, a few texts, email pushing, writing a few emails and installing/uninstalling new software. This is absolutely fantastic. My phone is more than one year old, and it still has the original battery.

Of course, with heavier use the battery will go quicker, but I know that if I leave home in the morning, no matter how much I play/use the phone (except using GPS for longer periods), I will always have enough battery to last until I get back home. This did not happen when I was on Froyo, I had to carry a mobile charger with me, in case I ran out of battery.

I'm on Three UK, by the way.
[Desire Android Development] gazbea:
GTalk Removal

+1 to this. Completely agree. We don't have a front-facing camera on the Desire, makes the need for this for me completely redundant.

Have never used GTalk and don't see a need to.

I agree that Oxygen is to be kept as close as possible to stock. But close as possible means that compromises will be needed. GTalk has proven a space monster and will more than likely cause further space issues down the line.

I think that a good compromise (if at all possible) would be to remove GTalk from the ROM but provide the .apk as an update script. And this is not specifically for Adam to provide as his time is far too valuable!

Keep up the awesome work. 2.1.2 is lightening quick and the best release to date! :D
[Desire Android Development] X-Press:
Am I the only one, or is the gmail and News app generally missing in the rom and hidden in the market?

[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
True that. But why don't we keep the old one then? It should be enough and won't take much room to fit.
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
Well, once again - new Gtalk is not only about video chat, it is also voice chat, and I'm using that voice chat. Video chat is also possible - I don't use it, but I have performed a test: you can see a person that you're talking with, and that person can see you, just not at the same time.

But I have to say that I'm not using Oxygen Hboot (I like Sense Hboot). If it's really necessary because of Oxy Hboot users, then remove it, as long as it's possible to install it via recovery. :-)

I don't use GPS but was just curious if it worked from seeing all the reports in the thread of it not working.

[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Wrong because Oxygen is based on the N1 and the N1 includes GTalk v1 with GRJ22, GTalk v2 is specific to the Nexus-S.

I could always revert back to Talk v1 and then provide Talk v2 via a flashable zip than would remove Talk v1 and replace it.

Noticed on a couple of occasions that I could not get a fix until disabling gps, wait for ~5sec and enabling again. Waiting any shorter or just keep waiting for a fix without resetting gps (tested up to 1h) didnt solve it. Happened to me in gmaps nacigation as wel as runtastic ( a sports tracker).

Upgrading to 2.1.2 now, hoping this will fix it. Radio was and still is 32.44.00.32. I didnt have this problem using this radio before.
